THE SOUND OF LANGUAGE
Escaping the turmoil and heartbreak of war-torn Kabul,
Raihana settles with distant relatives in the strange,
cold, damp country of Denmark. Homesick and heartbroken,
Raihana bravely attempts to start a new life, trying hard
not to ponder the fate of her husband, who was taken
prisoner by the Taliban and never heard from again.
Soon after arriving, Raihana finds herself in a language
school, struggling to learn Danish, which she thinks sounds
like the buzzing of bees. To improve her speaking skills,
Raihana apprentices herself to Gunnar, a recent widower who
is steadily withdrawing from the world around him, even
neglecting the bee colonies he worked so hard to cultivate
with his late wife. Over the course of the bee season,
Raihana and Gunnar forge an unlikely relationship, despite
the disapproval of their friends and relatives. But when
the violence Raihana thought she had left behind in
Afghanistan rears its head, she and Gunnar are forced to
confront the ghosts of the past as they navigate the
uncertain future.
